A MODERN MEDiciINE
FOR THE BABY

What mother cannot remember the
times of her childhood when the cas-
tor oii bottla was brought into use
—the dread with which she looked |
forward to a dose of it—the fight she |
put up when forced to take it. Surely
all mothers will be glad to spare their |
little ones this discomfort—this dread.
Modern science has banished the bad |
smelling, evil-tasting, griping castor |
oil and given in its place a modern|
remefy—a remedy pleasant to take,
mild, though thorough in action, ab-
solutely harmless and something the
little one won’t dread. That medicine |

4he women of bis family worked for
the benefit of the poor in those ways
to which their sex is peculiarly adapt-
ed, getting up fairs and amusements
for the purpose of raising money. Con-
.stance, now twenty-seven years old
-and very attractive, was foremost in
all such efforts and was worsbiped
not only by those whom she assisted,
“ut by those who worked with her.

During the winter after the close of
the war there was so much misery not
only among the lower classes, but
among many who lived in affluence,
‘that Constance asked ber father’s per-
mission to give a masked ball for char-
dty. He consented at once, and every
spreparation was made to give eclat to
athe occasion.
-done was far beyond Constance's sin-
gle powers she invited a number of
ther friends to become her assistants.
The staff was divided into committees,
one of which was to search for unique
customs which might be introduced
eat the ball.

Among the recommendations made
‘by this committee was one that one of
athe members had read of in a Spanish
‘ook. In Granada there was or had
‘been a custom at balls given for the
ywurpose of raising money wherein the
privilege of the first dance with any
dady was sold to the man who would
gay the highest price for it. The com-
«mittee arranged that those ladies who
would permit the privilege of this
ance with them to be sold should be
auctioned off before the dancing be-
gan.
dadies consented, among them the host-
ess, Constance Runlet.

The costumes were of bome manu-
a@acture, for there was no money with
which to buy them, But such labor
tends to make the object for which it
ds undertaken the more enjoyable.
Antebellum wardrobes were ransacked,
and every available bit of finery that
shad been stowed away in the south's
‘halcyon period was brought out to be
‘turned into dresses for queens, prin-
esses, and other historical characters
for the women, and kings and noble
men for the men. When the influx of
guests had ceased there was a flourish
‘by the orchestra (improvised negro mu-
w#icians), and the throng made its way
to the dancing hall, where the auction
for partners was to take place. Colo-
nel Runlet’s house was one of those
colonia! Virginia mansions in which a
ballroom was indispensable. In this
case the whole of the top story was
devoted to it. At one end was a dais,
on which stood the auctioneer, The
ladies whose partuersbip for the open:

| eral kept raising him till Mephistophe-

‘nodded to the auctioneer, signifying
| that he did not care to go any further
in egging on his opponent. The amount
be bad gained for the poor was quite
enough and had not cost him a cent.

Then a cry arose for Mephistopheles
| to unmask,

“Not without Miss Runlet’s order,”
he said.

Constance advanced and requested
him to make himself known.

He threw off bis cape, then his doub-
‘Jet, revealing the uniform of a United
States army officer, with the silver leaf
of lieutenant colonel on bis shoulders.

Then, casting aside bis mask, he stood
revealed to all as a middle aged stran-
ger whom no guest recognized, Con-
stance gave a cry of joy, and he took
her in his arms.

Lawrence Desborough had gone north
and had become a northern man. The
Colorado gold fever at that time oc-
cupied the attention of the nation, and,
putting his money into what miners
needed, he sailed around the Horn and
sold his stock at an enormous profit.
As a commission mercbant he had ac-
cumulated capital which he invested in
mining property. When the war broke
| out he volunteered in the Federal army.

Before the surrender one of bis mines
bad made him very rich, As soon as
he learned of this he came to claim bis
former love.

Tis appearance in United States uni-
form produced a commotion. Many
| felt bitter toward bim as a south-
erner who bad fought against the
south, but he had given $50,000 to the
poor in and about bis former home,
and this tended to alleviate the preju-
dice against him.

The music struck up for the first
dance, a quadrille, and Lawrence Des-
borough and Constance Runiet danced
it together, he displaying on bis shoul-
ders the insignia of a Federal officer,
the only such present,

In time he bought back the planta-
tion of bis ancestors and established in
it bis parents, who were now old per-
sons. He married Colonel Runlet's
daughter, but since he had become
northernized be took her to the more
active flelé to be found in the northern
states.

HEREFORDS AS
BEEF PRODUCERS.

| Ip the following remarks | intend no

beef breeds—they are ali goud—and [I

Herefords are a _ prolific breed.
The bulls and cows are all sure and
regular breeders. The bulls are ac-
tive and attentive and remain so
until of great age. The cows re-
main productive cften up to fifteen
years of age,.nd many of them are
known to have dropped calves at
the age of twenty or even twenty-
five. A good Hereford bull will sire
more calves from a given number
of cows in a period of years than
any other sort of bull, and a Her

cattle, none will stamp their get so
uniformly and generally, none will
cross on all colors aud shapes with

such good results, and sires from no
other breed will get as large a percent-
age of calves under range conditions,
adverse or otherwise, as the Hereford.
The Hereford is a natural born grazer
and rustler and has the habit of adapt-
ing himself to conditions as he finds
them. He makes himself at home in
the west, the southwest or northwest,
where grasses are often short and
scattered, water not too plenty and the
extremes of climate often, to say the
least, not the most comfortable. Nev-
\ertheless, he adapts himself naturally

to what he finds, turns out, makes the
dest of it and gets down to business.

Hereford enjoys today are not due to

Protecting Cheeses by Paraffin.

Nearly all cheese of the cheddar
type made in the United States is par-
affined before it reaches the public.
Yet it is not more than six years since
it became a general practice, and it fa
less than ten years that paraffining to
protect from loss of weight was first
brought to the attention of cheese han
dlers.

At first the process was followed in
order to improve the appearance, but
when it was found that the protecting

cout of paraffin to u great extent pre
vented the considera

treatment. A circular issued by the
department of agriculture at Washing
ton discussing the methods and results

of paraffining cheese con ludes that Sf
is an effective way of preventing losses
in weight and the growth of mold; that
from one to ten seconds in a paraffin
bath at 220 degrees is suflicilent; that

treatment on the third day after com
ing from the pres» gives the best re
sults, and that cheese should not be
akowed to remain in a warm curing
room for more than one day after par-
affining.

/ Rusted Straw Is Better,

Straw affected by red or black rust
has a higher feeding value than bas
straw which is free from rust, accord-
ing to Professor W. B. Richards,

The reason assigned is that the rust
has prevented the sap of the plant
' from going to and developing the grain,
and hence rusted straw is not only
greener, but has more feeding value.
| Animals receive no injury from eating
| rusted straw, and many times it can
| be used to advantage in winter feed-
/ing operations, it should not be used
| as the entire ration, however, as it has
too much cellulose for the digestive ap-
paratus to properly care for, but when
fed with bran, oats, roots, alfalfa or
| other laxative feeds it makes a good
| winter ration for cattle.

STRANGE TRAITS OF BABIES

In Both Their Early Actions and Build
Have Close Resemblance
to a Monkey
Many up-to-date scientists hold the
somewhat startling theory that in its
physique and its ways the average
baby resembles the ape-like ancestors
of the human race far more than it
does the grown-up into which twenty
years or so will turn ft.
Notice, they say, how a small baby
carries the soles of its feet, It has the
power of turning its ankles in until
the soles are in a line with its legs.
This power is soon lost, but it is,
80 these scientists declare, a direct
inheritance from the — tree-climbing
habits of our ancestors,
| Another point is the great strength
of a baby's arm compared with that of
its legs. Experiments have shown
that nearly all children less than three
years old can suspend themseives by
-s tims trom a horizontal walking
stick for at least ten seconds.
inat distinguished scientist, Dr.
Chalmers Mitchell, in a recent lecture,
remarked that he had known babies
not only hang on without support, but
voluntarily take away one hand, hang-
‘ing on with only one—even babies on-
ly an hour old. This great arm
strength is said to date from the days

A BLOOD MEDICINE WITHOUT ALCOHOL.

Recently it has been definitly proven by experiments on animals that alcohol
lowers the germicidal power of the body and that alcohol paralyzes the white cor-

A blood medicine, made entirely without alcohol, which is a pure glyceric ex-

joxds, but the art of the felo de a¢ seems
not to have advanced materially dur-
ing the centuries, The modern case
lot a heavily insured broker who on a
‘feigned hunting trip stood bare-legged
in a quagmire for hours and so wil-
fully contracted a fatal pneumonia, is
matched in cleverness by one five han.
\dred years old. The following facts
jare well vouched for, and, indeed, were
| never questioned: P
| Sir William Hankford, a judge of
jthe King’s Bench in the reign of Ed-
| ward lit. Henry LV., Henry V. and
!Henry VI., and at the time of his
death Chief Justice of England, was
a man of melancholy temperament,
| He seems to have contemplated sui-
| cide the greater part of his long Life,
,and during his later years the idea
| became a Axed purpose. The act was
lot peculiarly serious consequence in
{those days, for the reason the law
treated it as a capital crime. The of-
| fender was buried at the cross roads,
| with a stake driven through his body,
and all his goods and property were
forleited to the Crown, to the utter
| ruin of his family.

| Hankford made good use of his wits
}and succeeded in accomplishing his
{purpose without incurring vither un-
| pleasans penalty. He gave open and
| notorious instructions to hie game-
| keeper, who had been trouble with
| fort in the deer preserve, to chal-
| lenge all trespassers in the future, anc
to shoot to kill if they would not stand
| and give an account. One dark nighi
jhe purposely crossed the keeper's
| path, and upon challenge made mo-
tions of resistance and escape. The
faithful servant, failing to recogniz:
| his master, followed instructions t»>
| the letter as was expected of him

j}and Sir William fell dead in his
| tracks.
The whole truth of the affair was

common knowledge, but it was impos-

sible to establish a case of suicide by

| legal proof. The servant was protect-

| ed by his instructions. Hankford had

he had so wisely considered,
The Eye of the Soul.

The very striking address on the
existence of soul in man, delivered
by Prof, Macdonald at Portsmouth,
England, has greatly interested meu
of science, and as Prof. Stirling said,
it was seldom that an address ‘'so full
of suggestion for further valuable re-
search” had been delivered.

Prof. Macdonakl began by develop
ing a Most ingenious view of the mak-
ing of the eye in man “as perfect an
optical instrument as could be made
as to a full knowledge of the part play-
ed by matter and special arrangements
of matter in reflecting refractory and
absorbing light,’ and this eye was
formed in the embryo bcfore direet
light could reach it.

This analogy he used to help the
belief that man had a soul. His brain,
like his eye, was affected by mysteri-
ous causes. He argued that ‘such
phenomena as sleep and deep anaes-
thesia familiarize us with the fact that
the mind was not necessarily always
associated with the brain, but only
with this when in a certain condition.

It was still possible that the
brain was an instrument traversed
freely as the ear by sound, by an un-

known influence which found reson-
ance within it.’

In this connection he could not, he
| said, avoid the world ‘‘soul.”” As an

the case of the eye, it was natural to

suppose the existence of ‘‘some ex-
ternal agent’’ over and above natura!
selection which “would have done no

more than assist in the process.” In
& passage of great imaginative power
he compared the brain or soul with a

harp, acted upon by what they used
to call “the music of the spheres.”’
Some Human Boats.
When you throw a piece of wood
into the water and watch how nicely
t floats, has it ever oceurred to you

») make yourself into a boat, and to
go floating about as easily and coolly
as a real boat does?

This may sound very queer, but to
one who has confidence in himself it
is qute practicable, as was proved
many years ago by Dr. Redale, of
Manchester. This gentleman, a not-
ed long-distance swimmer, was often
to be seen floating about the River
| Mersey for hours at a time. He used
to fasten a strong belt around his
wast, and attach to it a light mast
and sail, which he would furl o-
unfurl as he lay comfortably on his
back, and no doubt it was very en-
jovable. ;

This was carried a step further by

another noted swimmer, Cantain
Boyton, who used to think nothing
of sailing up and down the English
Channel, clad in a dress inflated
with air, and with a sa’) fixed to his
feet. Once, indeed, he actually eross-

} ed the Chann-] from Dover to Calais,
but on this oceasion he used a paddle
with which to steer himself.

Neither in theory nor in practice
does our Parliament govern, Parlia-
ment imposes taxes, votes moliey for
detraying the expenses of Govern-
ment, enquires into the Acts ef Gov-
ernment, and oriticizes as it sees fit,
and legislates. These are the principal
functions of Parliament, saya a writer
in ihe Montreal Standard, *

“The executive Government and
authority of and over Osanada,” de-
clares the British North, American
Act, our written constitution? i vest-
ed in the sovereign. in this Domin-
jon the sovereign, King George V.,
is represented by the GovernorShener-
al, who, at present, is the Djgke of
Connaught, tae King’s uncle,

The Governor-General, repreggnting
the sovereign, exercises the executive
powers and theoretically geverns.
‘Lneoretically, it is said, because al-
though he governs, he governs in ao-
cordance with the advice of a Certain
body of men, known in the co®mtitu,
tion as the Privy Council, oe

“There shail be a Council,” says thy

eral, and sworn in as Privy Caguncil-
}lors, and members thereof may be
from time w time removed by tee
| Governor-General.”’

Consideration of this Privy Coundi
takes one back to we beg.nning of
things with respect to the practice of
| Government as we have it to-day in
common with the people of the Brit-
ish Isles, Austraia, New Zealand,

| Fielding and the Hon, Rodolphe Le-
jinieux. Lord Stratncona is also a
member of the Pr.vy Council although
jhe has never been a member of a

in theory all members of the Privy
Coune!l are advisers of the Governor-

limited to those members of the Privy

j day; and the werd cabinet may be
) deiined as “a conventional, but not a

) fill the hignest executive offices in the
| State, anu who, by their concerted
| policy, direct the Government, and’
are responsible for all the acts of
j the Crown”
| The practice, described in simple
words, is this—when a Government
|is formed its members, who form the
| Cabinet, are sworn in as members of
| the Privy Council, but so long as they
| hold office they not only administer
jthe Departments of State, such as

SILAS OF
HEBRON VALLEY

A Wall Street Deal and What
Ht Brought Him. .

By M. J. PHILLIPS,

John G.’ Davidson, with his cleanly
shaven, comely face, cleft, chin, blue
eyes and firm jaw, might have been
from appefirances an actor He might
have been mistaken for a popular
preacher 6r° a professional baseball
player, His. age was apparently any-
where betWeen thirty and fifty years.

He had the alr of good living and

+ prosperity which the man of the world
is supposed to wear.

All guesses a3 fo his profession, how-
ever, wold probably have gone wide
of the k. He was senior mevaber
of the firm of Davidson & Cole of Wall
street, a° firm which bore a rather
shady refiutation. Even now he was
hurrying *home from a hunting trip tn
Maine witich hed been cut short by
the tip.:frregularly received, of a big
“killing” ‘to be made the next day on
the Stock Exchange.

In other. words, Davidson & Cole
were preparing to garner several bun-
dred thoitsand dollars because the Bill-
mans amd the. Silvers were about to
close in g death grapple for the control
of the New York, and Western. Each
faction held about one-third of the
stock. Speculators and investors held
the other third, mostly in small blocks.
The Silvers needed the road, it was
said, to stifle its chances of becoming
a dangerous competitor. The Hillman
crowd desired it for those very possi-
bilities,

The stock was down to 37; but. ac-
cording to the information gleaned by
the brokers, the Silvers were prepared
to pay 150 if necessary for the shares
constituting the balance of power.

Despite the suspicion which attached
to him on Wall street, Davidson's face
was one people instinctively liked and
trusted, When, at a femote junction
point, Silas Ashlar entered the smoker
of the train, shaking the snowflakes
from his ulster—it was widwinter and
storming—he took the seat beside the
broker,

Ashlar was twenty-five, and his good
natured face, unchiseled by the stress
ot city life, was round and immatured,
yet withal there was native shrewdness
in it and frank honesty.

Davidson was a man to inspire not
only confidence, but confidences. Be-
sides, he was in the mood for conversa-
tion. In the course of half an bour the
country youth was unburdening .bim-
self to this agreeable stranger as he
bad never talked to bis closest friend.

“L tive over to Hebron Valley, in Ver-'

mont,” he said. “I'm clerk in old man
Briggs’ general store; been workin’
there since | was fourteen, The old
man wants to retire now, and I'd like
to buy the business.”

“L see.” rejoined Davidson politely.

Silas beat a tattoo with clumsy tin-
gers on the window sill and smiled
with embarrassment betore he proceed-
ed. “There's—there’s a girl, you know.”

“Indeed. Briggs’ daughter, 1 sup-
pose ?”"

“No; Jennie Gardner. We're—we're
enguged, you see. “That's why I want
the store.”

“Feel as if you'd ougbt to be set up
fn business before you marry, eh?”
queried the broker, smiling a ttle.
man reluctantly, “atid Jennie dont;
neither does her ma. But ber fatuer—
he's .Johu Gardner, the banker there at
Hebron—he don't tike me; thinks | ain't
got money enough, | guess. Then
there’s another fellow, the postmaster,
he wants Jenny to marry.”

Davidson's interest quickened. “Why
don't you rub away with the girl?’ be
asked.

“She won't do it. She's afraid of ber
fatber, So is her mother, for that mat-
ter. He's a bard man.”

“He'd be satistiea to let you marry if
you owned the store?”

“Yes, and that’s just some more of
his meanness,” returned Silas. “He
thinks it's impossible fur me to buy it
or be wouldn't say so. All lt got's $400.
Briggs wants $2,000. I'm goin’ duwn
to New York to see if 1 can't raise it.

|
“Well, no; | don’t,” replied the young |

I've heard of mouey being made pretty |

quick on Wall street"—

“They'd get your bay in about twen-
ty minuies op Wall street,” responded
Davidson decisiveiy. “1 know, be-
cause that's where 1 baug out. But
See here, Ashiar. I've got a little
sporting bloud in wy veins, and I've
been under dog myself, Suppose f
help you down this tu'pepny banker?’

“Say. if you onty would!"

“Very well, Let's have your five

undred, ‘There's something on for

h
Qromorrow, and maybe | can clean up

your little pile for you during the ex-
citement, Are you willing to trust me
and take the chance?"

Ashlar's answer was to draw. with
trembling fingers, a bulky envelope
from an faoner pocket and pass it over
to the broker, who tore it open and
counted the contents dexterously,
There waa $500 in the package in
well thumbed tens and twenties,

The broker stowed the money away
and produced a bit of pasteboard.
“There's my address,” be said, hand-
ing the card to Ashlar, “You come
to that number day after tomorrow at
10. and I'l! have some news for you."

When at dusk Asblar, bewildered by
the appalling noise and coufusion of
the big city, ventured from the rall-
Wav station inte she street be sudden-

Perfect stranger, but the remembrance
of Davidson's face with its undetina-
ble attraction reassured him, “L was
4 darn fool for ever thinkin’ of this
thing.” he muttered. “They'd surely
beat me if 1 tried speculatin’ by my-
self. 1 guess Davidson is square,”
The New York aud Western episode
on the Stock Exchange next day was
merely a skirmish in the great indus-
trial warfare which goes on ceaseless-
ly in that slit in the granite called
Wall street. A few protited; scores
were ruined. Before Davidson & Cole
bad loaded up irretrievably with the

_ Stock Davidson smetled danger and

had begun to let go.

His suspicions proved justified. The
story of the fight for control was a
clever fake, which bad already caught
many small firms. It developed that
pond Silvers and the Hillmans bad long

ince come to an amicable a
in regard to the rond. vi agi

“Then we're out about $05,000," said
Lucius Cole the morning after the
skirmish nas he sat with his partner in
their private office.

“About $65,000." agrecd Davidson,
“and if T badu't got wise until a half
hour later we'd have been down and
out today.”

A clerk ushered in Silas Asblar. The
country youth was haggard with anx-
lety. “The morning paper says we
bee bit hard,” be began. “My mon-
yr —

“Your money's all right,” interrupted
Davidson, “1 had yonr little old $2.-
000 sulted before the balloon ascen-
sion. Here's your check.” He handed
Asblar a slip of paper.

“Siias for a few moments was dazed
by the good news. ‘Then he began to

stammer his thanks, but Davidson
waved them aside. “Not a word now,
Silas.

1 want just two promises of
you—that you'll never monkey with
the Stock Exchange again and that you
will go home and fix up a wedding
within two weeks. Do you agree?"

Dbere were tears in the young man's
eyes, “It Jennie says the word we'll
be married inside ot twenty-four bours.
This money shuts ber father up. [

business either, rou bet. L've been too
worried the last two days. God bless
you, Mr. Davidson. It you ever come
to Hebron Vailey I'll try to show how
much you've done for us.”

A dark flush mounted Cole's thick
neck and orerspread bis tace as the
grateful Asblar left the office. “Are
you crazy, Davidson?’ he demanded
angrily. “What the devil did you give
op that money for’ The fool hayseed
would have believed anything yon told
bim.” Aithongh meant as a sarcasm, |
a note ot anxiety crept into bis hich, |
excited voice at the next questiun. |
“You ain't turning bonest, are you"

There was more bitterness than hu-
mor in Davidson's smile as be replied:
“It's a little late in the day for that,
isn’t it? But Pil tell yon why 1 did It
If you want to know. Did you ever
stop to think why J wasn't married?”

“Oh. a girl away back probably.”

“Dead right. Lucius. Her folks

grubber with a few hundred dollars
and a heart like a hickory nut. It's

Her busband dvesn't like him, and he

“Well, I ain't kicking, am I?” snarled |
Cole, with a chunge of front which
would have puzzied any one but his
partner. {

Story of the Bad Rupee. |
“There tived in Rampur, india, a
vender of sweetmeats named Bahram,
whose wife bad wenk eyes,’ said the
story teller, “One day this man went
to see a triend at the bazaar, and ve
lett bis stall in the woman's chirge,

‘Be careful, mind you, about tne
change,’ he said to ber, But neverthe-

jess wheu be returned home hy tound
that she bad taken in a bad rupee
piece, He could bardly sieep that nignt
tor rage and sorrow, in the morning
be arose early, and, determined to get
cid of the bad rupee, be set out througo
the town. Soon be met a boy.

‘Hoy, be sald, ‘do you know the
sweetiweat shop of Ali? (Ati was a
rival vender. ‘Well, tuke this rupee,

sweetmeats there. ‘Ibe sweetmeuls

“ibe boy departed merrily and ip a |
little while réturned witb his mouth

“'so you got the change without

"On, suid the boy, ‘I didn't go as |

THE WHITE HOLLAND TURKEY.

The first White Hollands are said to
have been bred in Holland over a hun-
dred years go and brought to this
country by the thrifty Dutch, They
were sports from the original turkeys
taken to the old world over 400 years
ago and at first were small and deli-
cate.

This made them unpopular with
breeders of market turkeys, for a small
turkey cuts a poor figure as a Christ-
mas table centerplece, so American
turkey breeders at once got busy and
crossed them with white sports from
the Mammoth Brouze, the giants of
poultrydom, and this infusion of now
blood-not only made them hardier, but
built them to a size Very popular at
market, as will be seen by the new
standard weights for this beautiful va-
riety:

Some urge ns objection to this splen-

bird a conspicuous mark for hawks.
We have bred white, buff and black
turkeys, an hawks have caught no
more of one variety than another, and
we can't see that color makes much

Lady Mary Wortley Montagn found
in Vienna that life would be intolera-
ble (in December) without furs and
stoves. And she is surprised at “our
obstinacy in shaking with cold six
months In the year rather than make
use of stoves, which are certainly one
of the greatest conveniences of life.”
So far from spoiling a roum, they add
to the magnificence of it as shaped in
Vienna and Dresden, says Lady Mary.

would be a store in her chamber; but,

FENCES THAT BLOOM.

They Grow Twenty Feet High and Are
Armed With Great Thorns,

Throughout the older parts of Mext- |

co, Texas and New Mexico many of
the fences nround the corrals and of-
ten the gardens are made of “ocuatilla.”
This is a cactus-like plant growing in
a stalk form and often reaching a
height of twenty or twenty-tive feet.
It is completely covered with long
stout thorns.

The stalk is tongh, hard to cut, ak
most impossible to break, and, grow-
ing to the height It does, it makes an
effective protection. itis planted usu-
ally in three or four alternate rows
and {is beld together by buckskin
strings or with strong wire. It needs
but little water.

I oelleve this ocatilla fence would be
found very satisfactory to use) on
country estates, and even the owner
of a modest plot of ground would tind
it a good thing It prevents stock
from vreaking in, effectively keeps at
a distance all marauders and when in
bloom is a beautiful sight, for at the
tip of the stalk there comes early in

summer a Cluster of deep crimson, ball |

shaped blossoms. 1 remember once

pression of un eastern womun to whom

Girl Cured of
Disfiguring Pimples

/By Cuticura Ointment. Broke Outon
Face when Twelve or Thirteen.
Were Most Embarrassing.

Had Tried Everything.

A Nova Scotia girl, Miss Mabel Morash, of
Dover West, writes: *‘When I was about
twelve or thirteen years of age, my faco
broke out with pimples, and I tried every-
thing to get rid of them, but failed. The
pimples were the worst on my forehead and
chin, They came out in groups and developed
later into sores, Being on my face they
caused great disfigurement, and were most
embarrassing. }

‘After trying so many remedies without
success, I saw the Cuticura Ointment adver-
tived, and I sent for a box. I then applied
it to the pimples, and in a week I saw @
great change in my face. I kept using it,
and in a few months it rendered a complete
cure. Now you cannot tell I ever had
pimples, thanks to the Cuticura Ointment.”

THIS IS INDEED —
A SEVERE TEST

But Dodd's Kidney Pills Have Benefit-
ted Him so Much He Recommends
Them to Others—Why They Always
Cure Rheumatism.

Hiolberg, B. ©. (Special). —That
Dodd's Kidney Pills will cure Rheum-
atism has been proved again and
again, Where the dread disease is
making its first inroads into the sys-
tem the cure is quick and complete,
Where the rheumatism is of long
standing it takes longer treatment, but
the result is always the same. Dodd's
Kidney Pills always cure. Probably
the hardest test Dodd’s Kidney Pills
havo ever been given is in the case of
Mr. C. Mattesen of this place, It is
best stated in his own words:—

“I have been troubled with rheu-
matism all my life,” Mr. Mattesen
States, “but Iam happy to tell you that
I have received so much benefit from
Dodd's Kidney Pills that I can recom-
mend them to others.”

Here is a case of the longest possible
standing. But Dodd’s Kidney Pills
will sure cure it. Why? Because uric
acid in the blood is the cause of rheu-
matism, and Dodd’s Kidney Pills take

“lreached 100 per cent,

certain that at any time you will find
dinner ready cooked and waiting.

“Even the national food lends it-
self admirably both to simplicity and
unpunctuality. Its staple is bread and
butter—in well-to-do houses immense
thicknesses of excellent butter and
fairly thin slices of several varieties
of bread. The staple food of our work:
ing class is also bread and butter,
but their butter is bad and scraped,
and their bread is uniformly innutri-
tious.

“Smorrebred (literally butter bread)
or smeared bread, the Danish for but-
ter being smor-smear, is the one food
that is to be had at all hours and in
all places, in hotels and restaurants,
by day or night on steamers, in the
famous Tivoli Gardens, It consists
of a thinish slice of buttered bread,
white, grey or black, on which is plac-
ed a palaag or overlay.

“This overlay may be cold—ham,
veal, sausages, hard boiled eggs, fish
(fresh or salted), salad, cheese. They
are not large, and most persons eat
several and like a variety. Could
there be any better way of making
a little go a long way? And what dif-
ference it would make to our house-
keeping!

Firing the Canon on Time

A Paris contemporary publishes an
amusing story from Egypt. At one of
the military posts it is the custom to
fire a cannon at noon, Just after the
arrival of a new lieutenant he was
going around one day, just about
noon. “How do you know the correct
time for firing?” he asked the gun- ; =

here for some years.”

A few days later the lieutenant
found himself in the village about
noon, and outside the watchmaker’s
shop. The Swiss was in the street,
evidently waiting for something to
turn up, so the lieutenant had a chat
with him. 4 4

“I suppose,” said the officer, “you
have but little work here?” :

“Not much,” was the rsponse. “I
have more Jeisure than work, but
this is not without advantages. You

WEARNG OF LIVERY

Precendence Among Servants—f oot-
man Gives Duchess a Leeson

French footmen are rising up in
protest against the wearing of livery.
Yet it was onco considered an orna-
ment, almost a coat of arms,

When the Marquis of Genlis found
that one of his servants was a pois-
oner, instead of delivering him e to
ae. he gave him notice after hay-
ng him unceremoniously unfrocked.
“Burn that suit” was his order; “no
servant would care to wear it after
him.”

In those times the servants’ hall
jealously kept up a certain table of
precedence, headed by the chaplain
and descending to the footmen, who
“were expected to do obeisance to the
principal domestics.” The Duchess of
Lohan was given a little lesson in
this table by one of her footmen, Com-
ing back from a walk, she exclaimed,
“I'm dying of hunger! Quick, bring}
me something to eat!”

A footman was present, but he only
knit his brows. Not an inch did he
stir, The Duchess reiterated her com-
mand angrily. The footman stood as
still as a statue. Finally he uttered)

these words with the solemnity of a}
judge: “The steward is not here.” He |

knew his duty; the Duchess had for- |
gotten hers. Sho had to continue dy-
ing of hunger, as her steward was not

present. |

After dressing thelr master if the

morning the valets found time hang-|

ing heavily on their hands, wherefore
Abbe Fleury in 1688 advised them to
study mathematics, music, drawing

and surgery in thelr leisure moments. |

He considered that such pursuits were |
quit as congenial to their profession |

as the arts of hairdressing, tailoring |

and upholstering.

Tirewomen, observed the good abbe,
should refrain from decorating the
hair of their mistress more than they
were positively ordered to, Besides
this, “let them avoid balls, comedies,
and especially the opera, if they are
not obliged to accompany their mis-
tress there, and if she does compel
them to attend, and that often, let
them not stay long in her service.”

Valets and maids were not always
content to wait for the cast-off cloth-
ing of their masters and mistresses,
and sometimes anticipated the event.
They felt that they made part of the
family, and were entitled to take the |
initiative. So it was that Abbe Fusee,
thinking in 1775 that he was approach-
ing the end of his life, had a leaden
coffin brought into his room, and!
then said to his valet: “Here is my
last coat. I hope it will not enter)

Watches the Hard Workers |
“Have you ever stopped to consider
‘how much work a watch does each
twenty-four hours?” asked a jeweller.
His query was actuated by comments
made by his companion, standing
against the counter watching the end-
less throng passing the door, upon the
seemingly interminable workday of
; the human race.

“No? Weil, it is surprising the num-
ber of movements a watch makes each
day,” he continued. “If any human
being attempted the same number of
motions he would expire from ex-
haustion long before the first twenty:
| four hours could pass. Yet the watch
| keeps going year in and year out with-
} out a whimper, and frequently with-
out being given its proper food, a drop
of oil here and there.

“Compared to other

reason for it is hardly explainable, for
there is the same amount of wear and
| tear, a similar abrasion in proportion
to the size of the movement machin-
ery, that there is in the motor of an
automobile.

“But to return to the amount of
work a watch does in a day. In the
first place, and largest in the scope
of work performed, the tiny
jewel makes a total of 432,000 impacts
against the fork each twenty-four
hours. *That surely is marvellous, Try
making semi-circular movements with

ergy you will expend in five minutes
moving your arm as rapidly as does
the roller jewel.

“Then there’s the second hand that

| makes a total of 86,400 strokes in each |

| twenty-four hours. Yet the power

back of all these motions or impulses
is derived from a tiny spring that
can be snapped with a flick the
finger.

| great a quantity of effort as that tiny

of

chinery it propels.

Swallowed, Over a Thousand Nails

Cases of the presence of foreign
| bodies in the stomach are not at all
rare, says the “Lancet,” but it is sel-
dom that such a case as that recorded
by Dr. A. H, Vandervit and Dr. H, P.
Mills is reported. A mulatto woman,
aged 35 years, was admitted into an
| asylum for acute mania ending in dem-

ease of the digestive system, It
discovered ‘iat in her stomach lay a

pounds, and consisting of more than
1,400 nails, screws, thimbles, and
other objects.

ment,

Scarcely a day passes but fresh
proof is offered of the wonderful
power of Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills over
disease. In many of these cases re-
lief and new health comes to the guf-
ferer after the best efforts of medical
men had been in vain. One such case
is that of Mrs. D. M. Ritchie, of Galt,
Ont.. who writes: —‘I feel it my duty
to let other people know what Dr.
Williams’ Pink Pills have done for me.
I was taken sick first in May, 1910,
with rheumatism. Treatment at home
‘having failed me I went to Grace Hos-
pital, Detroit, where I remained for
some weeks, but instead of improving
I became absolutely helpless, as it
from paralysis, and could not move
\\hand or foot. I was under the heavy
expense of a trained nurse, and the
best of medical treatment, but seem-
ed to be growing worse. Finally about
the middle of July
cided to bring me home to Galt, where
I remained under medica! treatment,
and with a nurse constantly attend-
ing me until October, when I took a
further turn for the worse.
doctor told my husband it was only
a matter of a few weeks, as I could
| not possibly get better,
time over six hundred dollars had
been spent for medical and hospital
treatment. In this condition, with
hope abandoned, my husband saw a
testimonial in a local newspaper of a
cure pf paralysis through the use of
| Dr, Williams’ Pink Pills, and I decid-
ed at once to try them. In a few
weeks there was a little improvement,
and from that time on each day show-
ed some change for the better. I can
jnow (March 1911) walk all about the
| house, do up my room, wash the dish-
es and sew and mend. but am still a
little shakey, but am looking for the
fullest cure, as I feel myself growing
stronger daily. I give the full credit
to Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills, for I feel

jit is the only popular oil.

Among the members of a fashion
able club are a doctor and a minister,
who delight in the exchange of re
partee touching their respective pro
fessions, As they met one day the
minister observed that he was “going
to read to old Cunningham,” adding
(as he was aware that the old man
was a patient of his friend, the doc
tor), “Is he much worse?”

With the gravest of expressions the
| physician replied, “He needs your
help more than mine.”

Off his guard the minister exclaim
ed, anxiously, “Poor fellow! Is it as
| bad as that?”
| “Yes; he is suffering from insom

The Trial Course

“I'm afraid you may think we are
giving you a lot of fish this week, old
| nan,” said the genial host as they gat
| down to dinner. “The fact is, my

wife has got hold of what seems like
a really capital devise for removing
fish-bone stuck in the throat, and we
' want to see if it works,”

Mrs. Ritchie, of Galt, Ont., Says She Believes it Saved Her
Life---Doctors Said She Had Not Long to Live When
She Began This Treatment---Read Her Grateful State-

| dence given to the benefit of suffer
ing humanity,”

Writing again under the date
August 16th, 1911, Mrs. Ritchie says:
“As to my general health I can say
that I have not felt so well in years,
My Stomach is in the best of condi-
tion and I can eat things I have not
eaten for years. I can walk quite
well, but use my cane when I go out,
as I have not quite confidence in my-
self yet. But if you Ifad seen me when
I started to take Dr. Williams’ Pink
Pills, you would realize what a miracle
they have worked in my case. All
that I have stated is absolutely true,
and I may add that the pills have cur-
ed my husband of kidney trouble that
other medicines seem to have no ef-
fect upon, for which we both
thankful.”

Again under the date of January 16,
1912, Mrs, Ritchie says: “I am fully
recovered and able to do all my house-
work. I shall always recommend Dr
Williams’ Pink Pills and trust some
sufferer will receive as much benefit
by reading this as I did through a
jfaithful use of the pills.”

Dr, Williams’ Pink Pills cure such
apparently hopeless cases as Mrs.
Ritchie’s because they make new, rich
red blood, which feeds the starved, ov-
erworked nerves, uud gives tone and
strength to every organ in the body.
No sufferer from paralysis, locomotor
ataxia, St. Vitus dance or any nervous
disorders can afford to neglect Dr.
Williams’ Pink Pills, the great blood
builder and nerve tonic, which have
more remarkable cures to their credit
than any other medicine in the world.
